Pau Gasol assured this Thursday that the example of
Ricky Rubio, who announced his retirement from the NBA
also talking about your mental health problems, will help many people who go through similar situations. “Your bravery and strength will help many people. We are with you, Ricky,” Gasol wrote on X (the social network formerly known as Twitter). Marc Gasol also greeted Rubio’s emotional farewell message in X with a gif of Leonardo DiCaprio applauding in the movie ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ (2013).
After twelve seasons in the NBA, Rubio, who has been on leave for mental health since last summer, announced this Thursday that his career in the NBA “has come to an end.” Ricky’s statement came shortly after the ESPN network reported this Thursday morning of the agreement between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Spanish player for the termination of his contract. The point guard also addressed in his letter the mental health problems that he has recently gone through.
“Last July 30 was one of the hardest nights of my life. My mind went to a dark place. Somehow I knew I was going in that direction, but I never thought that I didn’t have the situation under control. The next day I decided stop my professional career,” Rubio detailed in his statement. “One day, when the time is right, I would like to share my entire experience with all of you so that I can help support others going through similar situations. Until then, I would like to keep it private out of respect for my family and myself as I continue working on my mental health. But I am proud to say that I am much better and getting better every day,” he added.
